Virtual CISO Services | Enterprise Security Leadership Within Reach
Transform Your Security Posture Without the Enterprise Price Tag
In today's complex threat landscape, businesses face the same sophisticated cyber threats as Fortune 500 companies—but without the same security resources. The strategic guidance of a Chief Information Security Officer is no longer optional, yet bringing this expertise in-house remains out of reach for many organizations.
Secure Smart Office delivers the solution: our Virtual CISO service combines elite security leadership from Intelligence Community veterans with AI-powered security automation through Cynomi—providing enterprise-grade security at a fraction of the traditional cost.
Did you know that 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses? Don't let your company become a statistic.
Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and so should your security strategy. At Secure Smart Office (SSO), we provide Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (V-CISO) services that bring top-tier cybersecurity leadership to your business—without the hefty price tag of a full-time CISO.
By combining our decades of expertise from the U.S. Intelligence Community with Cynomi, a cutting-edge AI-driven V-CISO platform, we deliver enterprise-level security at a fraction of the cost.
What is a V-CISO?
A Virtual CISO (V-CISO) is a senior cybersecurity expert who provides the leadership, strategy, and oversight of a traditional CISO, but on a flexible, scalable basis. You get the protection, guidance, and compliance support your business needs—without the overhead of a full-time executive.
